INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOOL THE GUESSER
SCALE ASSEMBLY AND SETUP
The scale comes crated as three major components that will need to be assembled before the Scale
can be operated. After assembly will be the calibration of the Scale Weight Head by Weights &
Measures, or if not required, by the operator. And last, is the Game Options Programming that will set
the range of WIN/LOSS for the various games.
Step 1: ***Please note. On earlier Scale models there will be a cross support with a
pole that will need to be installed before final assembly. To install this support, turn
the platform over. Remove the two load cells that are located closest to the three
large holes on the platform. These will be held into place by a total of four 1/2’ nuts.
Using a
¾
” wrench remove the four nuts and lift the load cells off of the studs.
Remove the four tube spacers located underneath the load cells. Install the cross
support with the pole going through the center of the three large holes. Be sure that
the four mounting holes line up with the studs and slide over them. Once the cross
support is in position re- install the four tube spacers, place the load cells back onto
the studs and re-install the four
½
” nuts. Then run the 6 pin connector through the
center of the pole support.
The three major components are the Scale Face, Pedestal & Weighing Platform.
Step 2: Assemble the Pedestal to the Weight Platform. The bottom of the Pedestal is identified by
the power cord exit. This should be assembled on to the Weight Platform with the gasket and bolts
supplied. The power cord exits the rear of the platform. There is one cable that needs to be run up the
center of the Pedestal and will connect to the Weight Head.
Step 3: Assemble the Scale Face onto the top of the Pedestal. There will be 2 connectors plus the
power cable poking out the top of the pedestal. Gently tuck these back down into the pole so they will
not be in the way of the Scale Face being placed on top. This should be done with 3 people, two must
hold the Scale Face while another guides the position and bolts the Scale face to the Pedestal.
Step 4: All connectors need to be plugged together to connect the Scale face to the Pedestal and
Weighing Platform electronics. There will be a 9 pin Molex (Strobes), a 6 pin Molex (Load cells for
Weight Head), and finally the Power Cable. The Power Cable must be plugged into the Circuit
Breaker with both White wires on one side and both Black wires on the other side. There will be one
black & one white wire already present on the breaker. Be sure that the Black wire you plug in is on
the same side of the breaker as the existing Black wire. Then the White wire you plug in must be on
the same side as the White wire already plugged in to the breaker. These wires must not be crossed.
The GROUND (green) wires are connected with the blue Bullet Connector. BE SURE THE GROUND
WIRE IS CONNECTED before turning on the game.
Once this accomplished, the Scale can be powered up and checked for proper operation. It is
important that the scale be placed on a flat, level, and uniform surface to obtain accurate readings.
